Try to build the kernel and see if = it also stops with signals 10 and 11, or basically any other signal = thrown in random places during retries. If so, it may be a = memory-related problem, and www.memtest86.com is your friend.

Hi Nicolas - Thanks for your prompt reply. It's interesting what you = say. I have just take a look at dmesg.boot and found the following entry ... ad0: 38166MB [77545/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 ... so I think that drive, the only one in the machine, is using WDMA2 which judging by what you say is just as well as it is quite an old box but with a brand new drive. I'm not doing overclocking or anything like that though. The BIOS is '96 era but the drive is 40Gb (ie way outside the BIOS limitations) I was was wary of this to start with but the box seems quite happy to boot and access the drive. Anyway I think I might do as you say and have a go at remaking the kernel. thanks again=20 richard.
